Every week we share a different image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia.
Last week we shared the black and white postcard shown above. Do you recognize the scene shown in this aerial photograph? This is the Basin Harbor Club in Vermont!
Take a look at the back side of the postcard below and you can see a short description of the club that reads: “Basin Harbor Club On-Lake-Champlain, Basin Harbor, Vermont. Most of the Club buildings are located around Basin Harbor and along the shore north and south of the Harbor.” The postage stamps tells us this was mailed in 1950, so the photo likely dates shortly prior to that year.
Have you ever been to Basin Harbor or this club? Do you have any thoughts to share? Please leave a comment below!
